Raise 和 rise 都表示从低级到高级,指的是水平、地位、数量或力量等的提高,但它们有本质的区别?因为 raise 是及物动词,顾名思义后面要接宾语,而 rise 是不及物动词,也就是要独来独往,这也许就是为什么 raise 比 rise 多一个字母“a”,可能暗示 raise 要接宾语。
Raise 作动词时,是一个规则变化动词,表示使升高,指有“外力”使某物上升,宾语可以是具体的,也可以是抽象的,意为“提升,举起,增加,提高”等,例如:He raised his eyebrows, as if surprised.How can we raise standards in schools?The government plans to raise the age of retirement from 65 to 67.They have raised their prices every year since they were founded. Rise 作动词时,是一个不规则变化动词,表示升高,指在没有外力情况下某物自己上升,可以指物理的升高,也可以只意为“增加”,因此主语可以是具体的,也可以是抽象的,例如:I like to rise at 6am, but my husband stays in bed until 8am.If it doesn't stop raining, the river will rise and overflow.John rose from his chair when Mary walked in.Jane has risen in her company very quickly and is now CEO. 1. raise 是及物动词,后面要接宾语,而 rise 是不及物动词,后面不接宾语,可以把它们放到同一个句子中识别,例如:We raise the flag when the sun rises, and we lower it when the sun goes down.The helicopter rose into the air, raising the survivors out of the water.2. 当两者作名词时是一样的,只是 rise 是英式英语,raise 是美式英语,所以 pay rise 和 pay raise 是一样的,例如:She worked really hard to get a rise in her career.My boss said he's giving me a pay raise next month.
